Why host your own Valheim server?
Valheim's world only exists while someone hosts it. A dedicated server keeps your Viking world online around the clock: friends build, sail and raid when they like, the longhouse is there in the morning, and nobody's PC decides whether the group can play tonight. You set the password, the difficulty and the mods.
Our Valheim hosting runs the official dedicated server on AMD Ryzen CPUs with fast cores, which Valheim's world simulation rewards, with NVMe storage and VibeSHIELD DDoS protection. The control panel switches between vanilla, BepInEx and ValheimPlus, has a Thunderstore mod browser, and lets you pick and back up worlds. The server is online within minutes of ordering.
Which Valheim plan do you need?
Vanilla Valheim allows 10 players and is fairly light. World size and mods push the memory:
A few friends: Valheim I
4 GB and two threads for 2 to 5 players on a vanilla world.
A full crew: Valheim II to III
6 to 8 GB for 5 to 10 players, a well-built world with many structures, and a handful of BepInEx mods.
Modded and beyond 10 players: Valheim IV
12 GB and four threads for ValheimPlus with a raised player cap, large mod lists and worlds that have been explored for months. Upgrading keeps your world.
Vanilla, BepInEx, ValheimPlus and your own worlds
Mods are a dropdown, not a project.
Thunderstore mods, from the panel
Pick BepInEx in the panel and browse Thunderstore from the Mods tab: install, update and remove plugins without touching files. ValheimPlus is one click too, with its config in the file manager.Crossplay with consoles
Turn crossplay on and players on Steam, the Microsoft Store, Xbox and PlayStation share one world; console players join with the join code the panel shows.Worlds and backups
Upload a world you started solo, pick which world the server runs, and download it any time. Valheim saves every 30 minutes and keeps rotating backups; the panel can back up the whole server too.
Valheim server locations worldwide
Low ping is half the fun. Our Valheim servers run in 15 datacenters across Europe, North America, South America, Asia, Oceania and Africa, every one on the same AMD Ryzen hardware with NVMe storage and behind VibeSHIELD, our own DDoS protection network with 17 Tb/s of mitigation capacity. You pick the location at checkout, and the latency checker below shows your real ping to each one before you order.
Outgrown your first choice? Our team moves your server to another location on request, with your files intact, so the location you start in is never a lock-in.
